Please put the Trivia Quiz Night at Glen Taylor School on Friday 30th November in your diary!

 

This is a St. Johns Rotary Club Fundraiser, to allow us to secure the funds needed for the myriad of local projects we undertake every year - so it is very important we make this a success.  Invite your friends, make up a team and come along to enjoy a fabulous evening!

 

Also please put your hand up to help arrange the evening.  Attached is a list of the jobs to be done and those that have already been allocated.  Donald B would like you to volunteer to complete one of the tasks not yet assigned.  The more people who volunteer means less work for each of us so let me know by email which task you'll do.

 

There will be a get-together after our club meeting this Thursday morning so if you're at the meeting, please linger for 10 minutes so we can get this project planned.

 

If you can't make the meeting, email Donald and he will add you to the action list.

The "fellowship" team would love to see a large group of St John's members attending next year's District Conference. The theme for the conference is Keep Rotary Real. Please check and mark in your diaries:

 

"I met with Pope Francis today.  He's a really great pope; great, great pope.  You know he's the leader of the Catholic Church; big church. I couldn't believe it when he told me how many Catholics there are. Way more than I thought. They have churches all over the world; some are very, very close (so close) to my hotels and golf courses.

 

"He took me into the Sistine Chapel. Beautiful ceiling. I don't think too many people even know about this place. The paintings are great, I'm telling you. The Pope (great guy, by the way, knows more about the Bible than almost anybody, we got along great, I think he really likes me) told me the whole thing was painted by this young Italian;  I think his name is Michael Angelo. At least that's what Francis (we're great friends) called him, I think.  Trust me, we're going to hear more about him.  He's really artistic, and everybody tells me I have the greatest eye for the bestest art.  I told Frank I'd like to buy some of Mike's art. I asked him if Mike's done anything on velvet.  He'll check (great guy). 

 

I'll hang his stuff at Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower.  He needs more exposure. He's too much with the churches.  He could paint my presidential portrait on the Capitol Dome.  Or maybe a mural on my big, beautiful border wall, but just on our side.

 

"Unbelievable. The fake media is at it again.  I just saw something on TV that Michael died 450 years ago.  Sad.  I've already got some people looking into this and you won't believe what they're finding."
